Gnocchi di Patate

A simple main course made with potatoes and flour. No sauce is included here.

Ingredients

• 1 kg of potatoes
• 300 g of flour
• 1 egg
• Salt

Instructions

1. Boil the potatoes in a large pot for 30-40 minutes.

2. Mash the potatoes while still hot onto the flour. No need to peel them.

3. Knead everything by hand until you get a soft but firm dough.

4. Take a part of the dough and roll it out with your fingertips to obtain strips about 3/4 inch thick.

5. Cut the strips into small pieces and drop a few at a time in boiling salted water. As soon as they float, the potato gnocchi are considered cooked and ready to be drained and seasoned.

Tips

• Always use flour when managing the gnocchi to avoid stickiness.
• Add butter and sage for a good seasoning sauce.
• Enjoy!
